Jalapeno Salsa

Over the weekend Mr. Smith and I worked on a little project together. We made his favorite salsa, Jalapeno Salsa found in the Ball Complete Book of Canning, also found on Food.com. It is a really spicy salsa made with a ton of jalapenos but has a really great flavor. We always double the recipe so that we can have lots on hand, it is that good.

I had fun prettying up the jars a little. I started out by using the canning templates found at Merriment Design, they are so pretty. I however wanted to put them on the front of my jars rather than the top of the lid so I copied and pasted them into Paint and then stretched them into an oval shape. Very pretty and ready for some gift giving, if I can pry them from Mr. Smith's hands. Maybe we should have tripled the recipe instead of doubling it.

Yes I know I spelled Jalapeno wrong, I vote we change the spelling because I would have sworn this was right.
